The new Edifice EFK-200
I learned that Casio has recently released the 3rd generation of their Edifice automatic line (kinuha ko lang yang photo from Fratello watches website).
Now sized at a smaller 38mm with a lug-to-lug of 43.7mm (one yt video says including the male end links, it's around 47mm), this now makes it easier to wear for my small wristed bros 🤣 nasa 6.25" lang wrist ko (very flat at the top) and I think this won't look like I'm wearing a wall clock. I have a similar sized Certina DS action diver date 38mm automatic na nasa 50.5mm yung lug to to lug with male end links, and hindi naman sya mukhang malaki.
It looks to be a potential challenger to my current options Citizens Tsuyosa and the Tissot PRX for the reasonably affordable auto/mech integrated bracelet type. When I look at the dial, this particular edifice even screams "affordable Aqua Terra alternative!" (to me at least).
Yung black, the forged carbon one, is the priciest. Next is the gold tone. Then almost the same na yung remaining 3 colorways.
Tsuyosa 37mm, I can find it below the 20k range. EFK-200, nasa almost 25k bnew, 30k for the gold tone. PRX auto (35mm kasi I feel malaki na masyado yung 40mm sakin), nasa at least 30k in the second hand market.
Napapaisip lang ako kasi I was of the mindset na it doesn't make sense to buy an automatic if it's a Casio.... Kaso wala naman quartz variant tong EFK-200.
Kayo, what are your thoughts on this watch?
